Technical Scope and Shop Utility Shop time is valuable. This manual cuts down on guesswork by providing direct access to the exact OEM data for the Tenneco-era equipment line. It delivers a clear breakdown of internal engine parameters, focusing on cylinder sleeves, piston rings, crankshaft journals, and valve train tolerances. To support efficient bench work, the document also includes comprehensive fractional-to-decimal conversions and metric-to-imperial reference tables right where you need them.
Specification Highlights If you need hard numbers, this publication outlines the critical performance metrics required for a successful rebuild. Key data points include cylinder head bolt torque at 105–115 ft-lbs and connecting rod bolts at 45–50 ft-lbs. Valve train setup is strictly defined, with intake clearance set at 0.012 inches and exhaust at 0.014 inches. You will also find baseline reference values for engine stall tests and complete hydraulic system maintenance details, including the 12-gallon TCH fluid capacity for the reservoir.
